Tips

April 30, 2024

The Beninksberg is (also) a nature reserve managed by the Nature & Forest Agency. So you shouldn't be here for a theater performance, but you will see a lot of broom, bilberry, patches of heather and royal fern. With a bit of luck, also a viviparous lizard in terms of fauna - and much more. Note: different vegetation on the north side and south side of the mountain and that is quite logical of course. And there are also beautiful grazers. They are located along this stretch, which is also the most beautiful in terms of plants. On the south side you have slopes with vines and a beautiful sunken road. More about all that nature, specifically flora and fauna in the Beninksberg nature reserve at natuurenbos.be/natuurgebied/beninksberg
